this puts me in mind of the thread title..."F*CK YOU, I LIKE GUNS".
...that kind of says it all, doesn't it? as if to say....my love for guns is MORE important than trying to keep more shootings from happening. seems a bit selfish to me.
aw, you had to take a whole 30 minutes out of your schedule before you could buy a tool that can too easily take the lives of others!!! oh, the horror!
lynard, you might be a law abiding citizen who's not a danger to anyone.....but what if you have a record of convictions and/or serious mental illness involving violence or threatening others with violence? .....what if you run a newsletter "Off The Pigs"? i'm glad you were subjected to wasting a whole 30 min.
spare me the NRA fall back argument that background checks are ineffective and that bad guys will ALWAYS find a way to get guns.
No one in their right mind believes that more thorough background checks will stop ALL gun violence and ALL mass shootings. but if it stops even ONE school shooting....i believe it's worth the 30 min "inconvenience".
This recent one would not have happened if SEVERAL LAWS on the books had been followed, so what's the point of adding more that only penalize law abiding citizens? In every school shooting we've had there is one more common denominator: The law and the government could not be counted on to protect the innocent.
If anything, Parkland proves you need a gun since (democrat) Sheriffs are cowards.
